Peter W Smith Construction Services: Residential Roofing

The company can help all homeowners learn more about their residential roofing options before any projects are finalized. The professionals that work with this group specialize in establishing a variety of different roofing materials. When customers know about all of the advantages that come with every variety of roofing materials, they will be better equipped to make good decisions for their roofing system.

Asphalt shingles are the most commonly installed varieties and are typically affordable. However, asphalt roofing systems are not as durable as others, and they will only last homeowners up to 15 or 20 years before they need to be replaced.

Wood shingles can be a much more durable option and are ideal for homeowners who want to create a more rustic or traditional appearance on their home's facade. These roofing systems are designed to last as long as 30 or 40 years, and homeowners will only need to inspect them roughly once or twice a year to make sure that they are functioning well.

Slate is slowly becoming an increasingly popular roofing option for homeowners. Slate shingles are unique in that they are naturally mined and can be cleaved into any shape before their application to a roofing system. Their color and durability make them stand out among other types of shingles, and homeowners who install such tiles will be able to benefit from a very long lasting installation.

Metal is another frequently chosen option. There are many different types of metal available for roofing systems, ranging from materials such as stainless steel, copper, galvanized steel and even chrome. While these rooftops are typically very durable and long lasting, they will require regular treatment to ensure that they work for as long as they are needed.

Finally, homeowners who are seeking a more classic look to their roofing system may choose to invest in clay shingles. These are commonly found on homes that feature Mediterranean influences of style. The shingles themselves are very durable and capable of withstanding all types of weather damage and abrasions, making them an excellent choice for homes with a unique architecture and style.

Common term used by roofers:

Stainless steel

Stainless steel is a specially manufactured form of steel that contains chromium. This alloy is highly resistant to rusting and tarnishing because of its chemical composition, which makes it ideal for many industrial applications.

Common question asked to roofers:Can the professionals help homeowners determine what system will work best for their needs?

If the client is not sure what rooftop they should use for their home, they can consult with specialists and ask them for their professional opinion. This is typically one of the best ways of ensuring that the rooftop is chosen appropriately and in accordance with the homeowner's needs.
